dremel is overkill
I just scored it first with a stanley knife and cut it out with one smooth slice. It took less than fifteen seconds for a perfect job.
EDIT-
This was not a suggestion, I have been a builder/joiner for decades. Do not expect to have the same level of dexterity thatI have developed over the years, use a dremmel if you are uncertain.

anyone can re-add photos to the how to?
I also have another question for brad. on your uploaded photo i see that you took the plastic cover under the wheel and you cut it in order for the cruise control switch to be installed. What i don't understand is where does the plastic part i have circled in photo3 belong to?

Ocean BMW in Plymouth.
They said it was £240 ish for the parts which I assume included a new cowling rather than cutting out the old one and they had allowed up to 3 hrs to fit it.
Bought the stalk & fitted it myself this morning and it's as easy as all the posts say it is.
All fitted before my cuppa was cold enough to drink!!

Can I suggest you go back into the dealership & ask to speak to the Branch Manager. Explain your experience & how simple it had been for you to do the job - you wanted to make him aware that these kind of experiences give Main Dealers a bad name & are not exactly likely to encourage people like you to one day buy their new car from them.
Your objective: To see if they offer to make amends by giving a competitive price on future servicing - don't ask, just see if they offer it. If they don't give you the time of day, say as you're leaving that you're a member of this forum & will be sharing your experiences.
Best of luck...
it is easier than it looks. dont forget to say hello with pictures
